Summary
Jimmy Campbell is a versatile software engineer with 25 years solving real-world IT and development problems and two decades of hands-on experience leading production-critical software and automation at Micro Depot and Equifax. He specializes in full-stack development and core infrastructure automation across on-prem, AWS, and GCP, building self-service portals and workflow tooling that processed tens of thousands of requests. Comfortable as a solo developer or lead on small agile teams, he blends deep sysadmin skills (Linux, databases, CI/CD) with Python and JavaScript application development and platform automation using Terraform, Jenkins, Vault, Packer, and Chef. A self-taught generalist and patient teacher, he’s repeatedly guided colleagues to adopt new automation stacks and cloud SDKs while owning both development and operations responsibilities. Currently on a planned sabbatical to refresh skills and prototype projects, he’s selectively considering what comes next rather than pursuing full-time roles immediately. An uncommonly practical technologist, he pairs curiosity-driven learning with a focus on making complex systems reliably useful for others.
